2. Fermat's factorization method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_factorization_method

   Fermat's factorization method, named after Pierre de Fermat, is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: =. That difference is algebraically factorable as (+) (); if neither factor equals one, it is a proper factorization of N.

3. Fifth power (algebra) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_power_(algebra)

   In arithmetic and algebra, the fifth power or sursolid [1] of a number n is the result of multiplying five instances of n together: n 5 = n × n × n × n × n. Fifth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its fourth power, or the square of a number by its cube. The sequence of fifth powers of integers is:

4. Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for specific exponents

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_Fermat's_Last...

   Dirichlet's proof for n = 5 is divided into the two cases (cases I and II) defined by Sophie Germain. In case I, the exponent 5 does not divide the product xyz. In case II, 5 does divide xyz. Case I for n = 5 can be proven immediately by Sophie Germain's theorem(1823) if the auxiliary prime θ = 11.

5. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

   If two or more factors of a polynomial are identical, then the polynomial is a multiple of the square of this factor. The multiple factor is also a factor of the polynomial's derivative (with respect to any of the variables, if several). For univariate polynomials, multiple factors are equivalent to multiple roots (over a suitable extension field).

6. Factorization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

   For example, 3 × 5 is an integer factorization of 15, and (x – 2)(x + 2) is a polynomial factorization of x 2 – 4. Factorization is not usually considered meaningful within number systems possessing division , such as the real or complex numbers , since any x {\displaystyle x} can be trivially written as ( x y ) × ( 1 / y ) {\displaystyle ...

7. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

   For example, 15 is a composite number because 15 = 3 · 5, but 7 is a prime number because it cannot be decomposed in this way. If one of the factors is composite, it can in turn be written as a product of smaller factors, for example 60 = 3 · 20 = 3 · (5 · 4) .
